Description

This is a simple vector graphics file that you can lasercut. It was designed to hold four of MorenaP's cute treefrog model, one in each layer height as you can choose in MakerWare and also a 50 micron version.

We 3D-printed the frogs with PLA plastic filament and used standard settings for shells (2) and infill (10%). The key factor for successful PLA 3D-prints is to have an effective cooling fan aiming at the 3D-printed part while it prints.

Depending on what speed is used in can vary. We 3D printed a whole colony of frogs at 50 microns layer height. A single frog took 1 hour and 48 minutes. Placing several frogs on the build platform and printing them in one go reduces the time per frog.

We don't share the STL file because we did not make it. We merely borrowed MorenaP's 3D model and used it for printing different resolutions since is it such a great model. The only thing we made was to produce the 3D prints and a 2D file for those who want to laser cut a plate for the frogs. (which we have shared)

If you want to have the model of the frog please download MorenaP's original model as described in our description text for this thing.

Beautiful way to display some beautiful prints! MBI should crank them out by the dozen and send them out to prospective customers to demonstrate the printer's resolution. It's a hard enough print (with the near-level surfaces, etc.) that you can really see the impact of the resolution settings!
